The Egyptian Dar Al -Iftaa received a question from one of the followers of his text: What is the ruling on filling the teeth during fasting? I went to the dentist while I was fasting during the day in Ramadan to make a filler for my teeth and treat them because of the intensity of my sufficiency. Does this affect the health of my fasting?
Ifta: Filling and treating teeth during fasting does not break the fast unless he deliberately swallows something in his mouth
The Ifta said on its website: Filling and treating the teeth during fasting does not break the fast unless he deliberately swallows something in his mouth, if he cannot delay the process of filling the teeth until after breakfast, if he can delay it until after breakfast, then this is first.
And she continued: It is legally established that the connection to the apparent mouth does not affect the validity of fasting unless it reaches the throat; Because “the mouth has the ruling on the apparent”, and this is inferred by the legitimacy of the rinsing of the fasting person, which is a water management inside the mouth and then an unknown. The texts of the jurists from the Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i and Hanbali.
And she continued: What is meant by the throat that spoils fasting with the arrival of something to the state of intent, remembrance and choice: the maximum throat, which is the exit of distraction and hamza, as in the “support of the students” (2/257, i. Dar Al -Fikr).
